Kid Rock’s Controversial Olson Twins Remark Resurfaces Pre-Super Bowl
As Kid Rock gears up for his performance at Turning Point USA’s Super Bowl LX All-American Halftime Show, controversy has emerged surrounding his past remarks. The show is being marketed as a family-friendly, Christian alternative to the NFL’s halftime presentation featuring Bad Bunny.
Controversial Remarks Resurface
A spotlight has returned to a 2001 appearance by Kid Rock on Saturday Night Live. During this appearance, he made a troubling comment about the Olsen Twins, who were around 14 or 15 years old at that time. Rock reportedly remarked, “Why is every guy in America waiting on these chicks to turn 18? If there’s grass on the field, play ball.”
This resurfacing of his remarks has generated significant backlash on social media. The Democratic Party’s account on X highlighted Rock’s comments. They noted, “The face of the MAGA Halftime Show.” While many criticized him, others defended Rock, arguing that his statement was part of a comedic skit.
Connection to “Cool, Daddy Cool”
Kid Rock has also been trending due to his 2001 song “Cool, Daddy Cool,” featured in the movie “Osmosis Jones.” This song’s lyrics, particularly Verse 3, have reignited discussions about his past behavior. The verse includes the troubling line: “Young ladies, young ladies, I like ‘em underage.” His collaborator, Joe-C, adds, “But I say it’s mandatory.”
Critics like Parker Molloy further amplified the issue, sharing the lyrics and questioning Rock’s suitability for the halftime show. Kid Rock’s response was not directly related to the controversy but included a meme on X attributing a quote to Kobe Bryant. This quote reportedly encapsulates an attitude of embracing criticism.
Reactions from Social Media
The reactions to Kid Rock’s posts have been overwhelmingly negative. Many users expressed their disbelief and disapproval. John Rocha responded sharply, stating, “You ain’t no Kobe Bryant.” Others criticized Rock for his past actions and for appropriating quotes inappropriately.
